painted hood or cf hood?

i need help making a decision. Im bout to get my car painted and i jus bought a cf hood for my 98 ek. I was wondering if i should leave it cf or paint it the color of my decision. My cf hood is 1x1 motorsports hood if im correct. I jus bought the hood mainly because i needed a stock hood but couldn't find one = / ..

thx dudes. plz don't flame!

Keep it CF, why add weight to it by painting it?

Re: painted hood or cf hood? (d17a turbo)

In my opinion CF should be function over fashion...real "race" cars paint CF pieces because the material's purpose is to save weight, not to look good. If i were to buy anything CF it would be paint matched to blend with the rest of the car, and the whole "black with another color" them does not really appeal to me...just my $.02
